Ah Spud, I agree that the fact you went to such effort honours Robin more than any gorgeous photo could. My photo to mark his birth ended up meh, but I also have a mental imprint – one of a bright sun gloriously breaking through some black clouds. Sadly I was driving with no where to pull in – my OH’s attempts to snap it through the dirty windscreen just didn’t cut it :(

That said, I think your photo is beautiful.

this has me near in tears…as my sister is giving birth to a little girl today.

i think your seemingly plain jane photos is outstanding. The whispy clouds are beautiful.

Such a sad, but beautiful story.

“even a great photographer couldn’t capture the whole ’scene’ as the visual element was only one part of the whole effect.” yes, that is right and yet a person of great humanity can capture the beauty of life and love and loss with words, intentions and offer it up to another human being. this is a wonder of a post and i cannot think of any photograph that could better convey your compassion and care.

Wow. that was a very moving post. I don’t know if Robins parents will be reading it or not, but I think it was much better than any photo. It was very poignant and heart-felt. You are so good.

The photograph is beautiful. I hope you give it to Robin’s parents. This sunset was a gift and though it wasn’t what you wished for. It was what God wanted. I bet they will know it is the perfect photo. What a lovely tribute (collecting photos of the day) to that tiny person.
